"National Divorce" - is it time to split up?

[Anti Federalist]

I agree with Thomas, 3 is most likely.

Freedom is not popular, it never has been with most of humanity.

It is only very rarely defended and protected.

It is certainly not a motivating factor or prime directive in the minds of the millions of invaders swamping the republic in an unwholesome flood.

I dunno. The fact there are more guns in the hands of civilians than there are civilians is a very comforting thought.

Most of them are expensive paperweights.

We have the manpower, we have the arms, we have the moral and legal high ground to take action to defend this republic, or form a new one.

We lack the will and the courage to do so.

Currently, yes. But that is subject to change, things aren't static. If the government goes too far you'll see pushback. Especially if they do it in a short amount of time or in an extreme manner.

BREAKING: Louisiana Supreme Court has voted to allow residents to secede from Democrat-run Baton Rouge and create their own city.

The new city, St. George, will have nearly 100,000 people, making it one of the state’s largest cities in population.

“This is the culmination of citizens exercising their constitutional rights,” Andrew Murrell, a leader of the effort to create the city, said in a statement, adding, “Now we begin the process of delivering on our promises of a better city.”

In 303, Diocletian issued an edict authorising the systematic persecution of Christians across the Empire. His caesar, Galerius, was supposedly responsible for this decision and would continue the persecution during his own reign (305–311). It is believed that George was ordered to take part in the persecution but instead confessed to being a Christian himself and criticised the imperial decision. An enraged Diocletian proceeded in ordering the torture of this apparent traitor and his execution.Then, after innumerable forms of torture, George was executed by decapitation in front of Nicomedia's defensive wall on April 23, 303.

Yeah. Great name for a newly seceded city.

"Secession"

After they "nationalize" everything

 

[PAF]

Our current situation is intolerable.

There must be a separation of some sort.

I just watched 15000 Trump people raise the roof in AZ as Trump introduced Kennedy.

For years now I have been chastised about "falling for the old divide and conquer" ploy.

I just watched the most significant political "coming together" since Ron Paul in 2008, maybe even more so.

Thousands and thousands of people shouting in the face of outright tyranny, cutting across "party lines" and candidates, to come together in an inspiring way.

And I'm happy and eager to support that.

I will now await the Legion of Doom to come along, throw wet blankets, $#@! all over everything, call me a communist and just generally act like a bunch of old bitter cranks.

You good? Ready to put this "national divorce" [secession] to rest now, as the whole nation gathers together in a round of Kumbaya?

Let him stick with the rest of that coast. Probably safer that way. When the tribes finally see Trump's true colors, I'm going to be out the door with them. No better position to be in right now than Indian Territory.

Coming from the Legion of Doom here, who have spent the last year telling me I'm an idiot for falling for the old "divide and conquer" ploy.

Now we have a for real move of people uniting in what could become a for real anti establishment Unity Party, and now that's no good.

I'm just a bitter, cynical jerk.

You two really are hilarious.

You're not very good at being cynical, if you can really fool yourself into believing there's anything anti-establishment about this Politburo.
